Playing Amazon Prime Instant Video on Fedora 20 / Firefox 29

I'll admit that this isn't exactly Sysadmin related but I wanted to share my experiences on playing Amazon Prime Instant Video on Fedora 20. Due to the lack of support from both Amazon and Adobe linux users are somewhat left to fend for themselves trying to get things to work like Amazon Prime Instant Video which uses flash. Google Chrome has helped out in this aspect with built in flash but the problem still lies in DRM-protected content. Several of these DRM functions have historically been provided by the HAL daemon but HAL has now been deprecated. After searching these are the steps that worked for my Fedora 20 system.

Make sure you have the following installed especially the flash-plugin package.

 yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper alsa-plugins-pulseaudio libcurl  

Install the hal-flash package based. You can find more details at here

32bit

 yum install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/20/i386/updates/hal-flash-0.2.0rc1-1.fc20.i686.rpm  

64bit

 yum install http://sourceforge.net/projects/postinstaller/files/fedora/releases/20/x86_64/updates/hal-flash-0.2.0rc1-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm  

That's about it! Just make sure you do some of the common sense stuff like reloading firefox etc...
